00:00:00.000 Brad Skistimis of Five Times August joins us tonight to discuss his new album Silent War
00:00:06.000 and what else is new in the culture wars. I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gunn Show.
00:00:10.580 Are you fed up with constantly searching for the records you want?
00:00:32.880 Yes, here's a unique opportunity to own a complete library of the world's most beautiful music.
00:00:38.820 One, two, three.
00:01:08.820 I will stand here in the way. And I will not give up on you. I will shield you from the pain.
00:01:22.160 Oh God, oh God, help us all. Oh God, help us all.
00:01:32.420 All my heavy times, everybody's angry living lies.
00:01:36.440 And you broke, joke, woke, woke, think you're gonna save the day.
00:01:40.000 You've gone out of your damn mind, kids. Nobody cares about what you say.
00:01:45.200 You ain't no leader and you ain't the boss. You wander around like you're fucking lost.
00:01:51.040 So check your watch, turn your back, set us up for the big attack.
00:01:55.980 Cause hey Joe, we did it. 81 million votes.
00:02:01.680 Shame, blame, no matter what they say, don't let the bastard get to you.
00:02:09.420 So take back your freedom and fight for your life. Stand up before it's all gone.
00:02:20.440 Take back your freedom and fight for your life. Stand up before it's all gone.
00:02:34.000 What you just saw there is the trailer for the new album by Five Times August, otherwise known as Brad Skistimus.
00:02:46.720 He's an independent musician who has really taken a stand, especially during the pandemic,
00:02:52.500 in the interest of free thought and free expression.
00:02:56.640 And the beauty is he's an independent musician.
00:02:59.580 So he's really not beholden to anybody.
00:03:01.480 And he has taken some, I guess, what would be considered controversial in pop culture stances
00:03:12.980 on issues of COVID and vaccination and Justin Trudeau's war on peaceful protesters.
00:03:19.680 But really they are mainstream viewpoints that Hollywood and the music industry don't think normal people should hold.
00:03:28.880 For example, Brad's video for his single, This Justin, was incredible.
00:03:35.760 Take a look at this.
00:03:36.440 This Justin, another liar on the news Standing at the pulpit ready to abuse
00:03:52.660 This Justin, another coward in control Scared by the sound so he hides in a hole
00:04:00.560 He'll call on the guards to trample the crowd Cause the louder they get, they silence his power
00:04:08.760 Shame, blame, no matter what they say Don't let the bastard get to you
00:04:17.600 He's gonna try to shut us down But we'll stand our ground
00:04:22.560 This Justin, another villain on the screen Acting like a hero for all the drama queens
00:04:40.600 This Justin, another black painted face Lathered in his virtue, enslaving every race
00:04:48.600 He'll send out the troops He'll send out the troops and freeze
00:04:51.600 The account says the freedom you get Is what he makes allowed
00:04:56.800 Shame, blame, no matter what they say Don't let the bastard get to you
00:05:05.760 He's gonna try to shut us down But we'll stand our ground
00:05:10.600 This Justin, another one day This Justin, he'll lose
00:05:17.600 If you look in his eyes You can see he's afraid
00:05:24.600 So fragile inside While the town's on parade
00:05:28.600 Shame, blame, no matter what they say Don't let the bastard get to you
00:05:37.600 He's gonna try to shut us down But we'll stand our ground
00:05:42.600 Hey, this Justin, he'll lose
00:05:45.600 No, he'll never shut us down Cause we'll stand our ground
00:05:50.600 Hey, this Justin, you lose
00:05:53.600 So joining me now to discuss his new album Silent War and the war on the minds of our children through pop culture brainwashing is Brad Schistamus or Five Times August
00:06:14.600 So joining me now is Brad Schistamus from Five Times August
00:06:25.600 Brad, thanks so much for coming on the show
00:06:27.600 I wanted to have you on the show
00:06:28.600 Well, first of all, because you have new music out
00:06:31.600 And because you are one of the few people in, I think, music
00:06:37.600 There are more now than ever before
00:06:40.600 Who are outspoken about the flaws of the pop culture world
00:06:45.600 It seems to be only acceptable to have an homogenous viewpoint on social issues, on cultural issues
00:06:54.600 And so when there are people like you who sort of pop up and say, hey, wait, there might be a different way here
00:07:01.600 You sort of become this, not only a beacon for hope for people like me, but also a lightning rod for criticism
00:07:08.600 Because the arrows are all around you and they're sort of firing in at you
00:07:12.600 So I guess before I start the interview and we'll talk about your new music
00:07:16.600 And oh, I want to talk to you about Kanye a little bit
00:07:19.600 I guess what was the turning point for you?
00:07:23.600 What was the thing that you were like, no, I got to speak out and I have to do it right now and whatever it costs
00:07:31.600 It's towards the end of 2020 really, it was, you know, everybody had gone through that year
00:07:36.600 And it was like everybody sort of started out going like what at the beginning of the year
00:07:41.600 And then at the end of the year, for me personally, I was like, come on, you know, it's like, it's time to move on
00:07:48.600 And I was, you know, looking around wondering where everybody was, you know, is nobody going to speak up about this stuff?
00:07:54.820 And, you know, thinking about my kids and everything, the future that they had in front of them
00:08:00.240 If, you know, I say this a lot, but I didn't want them to look back on this time wondering what daddy did, you know
00:08:07.420 Or, you know, did you do anything for our future?
00:08:10.260 And I had this platform, I found myself in a unique position to speak up
00:08:16.960 I don't have any chains to anybody, you know, I'm an independent artist
00:08:21.080 I've always been independent
00:08:22.420 So, you know, I just started sort of speaking out of a way to vent for myself
00:08:28.960 But then once I realized I was, I had, you know, I wasn't alone
00:08:33.900 That really inspired me to start speaking up to let other people know they're not alone
00:08:40.480 You know, it's so interesting because we know as parents, pop culture has such an influence on the culture
00:08:48.900 But then culture skeptics say, and I'm guilty of this, I don't want any part of this
00:08:54.280 It's gross, you know, it's the primordial goo of evil
00:08:58.900 I'm just going to stand over here and I won't get involved
00:09:01.060 And so I really admire people who say, you know what, that's a battleground we should not walk off from
00:09:06.680 And I think, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I think that's what you're doing
00:09:10.340 When people like me are like, no, I don't want any part of this
00:09:13.240 I'm just going to stand over here and listen to 70s country music
00:09:16.280 Yeah, well, you know, I grew up just sort of engulfed in pop culture
00:09:24.440 I'm an 80s, 90s kid and everything that I loved growing up has been demolished or rebooted in some weird woke way
00:09:33.360 That doesn't make sense, it's not about, you know, what it used to be about or what it used to represent
00:09:38.580 So everything has sort of been falling apart
00:09:41.240 That, you know, we used to love as kids
00:09:44.440 And it's being twisted and manipulated for a new generation in a weird way
00:09:49.540 And all the new stuff is too
00:09:51.920 I mean, there's just this underlying
00:09:54.100 Evil tone too
00:09:56.980 That seems, you know, just unnecessary
00:09:59.820 So, and it's so loud
00:10:03.420 And so in our face all the time
00:10:06.140 You can't even let your kids watch anything online
00:10:09.900 Because all of the ads
00:10:12.200 Every ad has something, you know, an agenda behind it
00:10:15.680 So you have to be really cautious of it
00:10:18.060 But, you know, at this point, it's like
00:10:20.400 I'm just calling everything out that I see
00:10:23.640 Because I'm tired of it
00:10:25.060 Like, there's just too much of it
00:10:27.180 That's like, we have to stop
00:10:28.520 The irony of this whole intolerant time
00:10:32.540 Is that we have been so tolerant up to now
00:10:36.440 That's why we're in this position now
00:10:38.420 Is that our tolerance of everything that was unique and different and special
00:10:43.420 And whatever it was
00:10:45.140 Sometimes we turned a blind eye to maybe, you know
00:10:48.960 Something that was in pop culture that, you know
00:10:51.840 Seemed a little off at the time
00:10:53.300 And now it seems like
00:10:54.600 Oh, that was really actually an evil little message there
00:10:57.860 Or something like that
00:10:58.660 But I'm very just, like, aware of it now
00:11:01.420 And I'm exhausted of it
00:11:02.620 So, you know, I take to Twitter a lot
00:11:04.720 And just rant about whatever I see
00:11:06.900 But we have to, you know
00:11:08.960 At this point, the line in the sand has been drawn
00:11:11.620 And it's like, you can either keep going down this road
00:11:15.720 And this path
00:11:16.540 And it's going to get weirder and uglier
00:11:18.580 And we're on a slippery slope
00:11:20.540 Or we can start calling it out now
00:11:22.820 And, you know, bring awareness of it
00:11:26.400 To others that may not be awake yet or something
00:11:29.140 But we have to start walking away from it too
00:11:31.760 And building our own sort of pop culture
00:11:33.940 Our new pop culture, you know
00:11:36.200 Yeah, that's a very interesting point
00:11:39.280 I want to come back to that
00:11:40.380 But, you know, one of the things
00:11:42.520 That you're very vocal about on your Twitter account
00:11:45.500 Is, you know, this drag queen performances for kids
00:11:49.300 And I think it is the perfect confluence
00:11:52.900 The intersection, to use the language of the left
00:11:55.500 Of the postmodern war on beauty
00:11:59.040 And this leftist, cultural Marxist war
00:12:05.440 On the minds of our children
00:12:07.200 And it is just manifesting
00:12:10.340 At the local library for some reason
00:12:13.440 So even places where, you know
00:12:16.000 You used to send your kids to the library
00:12:18.460 When you didn't want them to watch so much TV
00:12:21.360 And so I guess the evil forces of the universe
00:12:24.520 Were like, oh, down there
00:12:26.600 That's where the parents who send their kids
00:12:28.900 The parents who worry about
00:12:30.900 What's infesting their kids' minds
00:12:32.440 Send their kids
00:12:33.240 Let's go get those parents down there too
00:12:35.440 And, you know, it's atrocious
00:12:37.500 But again, you mentioned the slippery slope
00:12:40.100 This is it
00:12:41.860 Like, we're hurtling towards the bottom
00:12:43.960 And the snowball is enormous
00:12:45.820 And the snowball is drag queen story hour
00:12:48.040 Yeah
00:12:49.540 Yeah, it's just insanity
00:12:52.380 As you were talking there
00:12:53.680 I was actually thinking about
00:12:55.040 How controlled information is online
00:12:57.940 And, you know, our only escape now
00:13:01.480 From the information that we receive online
00:13:03.900 Is to go back and find those
00:13:05.720 You know, that physical information
00:13:08.020 We used to have books and records
00:13:09.860 And, you know, DVDs
00:13:12.800 Whatever it may be
00:13:13.820 And so to have that one outlet, right?
00:13:18.040 If you go to a library for information
00:13:20.500 And it's all hard copy information
00:13:23.040 And this is sort of just a twist
00:13:26.120 On what you're saying
00:13:27.080 But I was thinking, like
00:13:28.100 It's weird that we can't even go there now
00:13:30.220 Because, you know, that information
00:13:33.380 That agenda has seeped its way in
00:13:35.540 To where it's not even about
00:13:36.980 Going to escape in a world of knowledge now
00:13:40.060 Those libraries have become a parade
00:13:43.080 And a circus for this weird agenda
00:13:45.420 So it's just another battle with our kids
00:13:48.600 But, you know, more so
00:13:50.620 It's like, what are the parents thinking?
00:13:52.960 Why are they bringing their kids
00:13:54.340 What parent in their right mind is like
00:13:56.160 You know what?
00:13:57.280 That's a
00:13:57.740 Let's go
00:13:58.760 Let's take you to that
00:13:59.840 Because I had an experience recently
00:14:01.920 I took my kids
00:14:02.920 Now, I don't take my kids
00:14:04.560 To Drag Queen Story Hour
00:14:05.700 I took my kids to a symphony recently
00:14:09.200 And my eight-year-old son is into piano
00:14:12.420 Like, he loves piano
00:14:14.620 And he looked at the piano player
00:14:16.700 And he leaned into me
00:14:17.840 And he goes
00:14:18.380 Hey, that could be me someday
00:14:20.700 And I couldn't help but think about
00:14:23.600 These kids that are being exposed
00:14:25.820 To what they're seeing
00:14:28.340 At these Drag Queen Story Hours
00:14:30.800 Where these people come out
00:14:33.600 And, you know, they're mocking women
00:14:37.300 First of all
00:14:38.100 And it's like a cartoonist impersonation
00:14:41.540 Of what a woman is supposed to be
00:14:43.040 And then they're spreading their legs
00:14:44.280 They're dancing to these nasty songs
00:14:45.980 How many kids are looking at them?
00:14:47.860 My point is
00:14:48.460 How many kids are looking at them
00:14:49.780 Going, oh, that could be me someday
00:14:51.160 And every bit of information
00:14:53.260 You're putting in front of these children
00:14:54.880 They're thinking that
00:14:56.520 Could that be me someday?
00:14:58.420 What do I like about this?
00:15:00.100 What do I want to take away from this?
00:15:01.740 It might not be a drag queen
00:15:03.000 But it might be dancing for money
00:15:04.660 You know
00:15:05.460 There's many different layers to it
00:15:08.700 And so it's shocking that
00:15:11.320 You know, there's so many parents out there
00:15:13.560 That are willing to even show up to these things
00:15:15.600 And encourage their babies
00:15:18.700 To hand money to these people
00:15:21.080 And it just keeps perpetuating itself
00:15:23.960 And it's part of that slippery slope
00:15:25.880 That's just going to keep getting weirder
00:15:27.520 Because it won't be good enough, right?
00:15:29.780 What do we do every time?
00:15:31.340 We push the boundaries every time
00:15:34.400 So now we're slammed up against the wall right now
00:15:37.300 With drag queen story hour for children
00:15:39.260 What comes after that, right?
00:15:41.560 How do they push it after that?
00:15:43.500 It's going to be, you know
00:15:45.100 Furry time for whatever
00:15:46.940 Like the people that dress up in leather dog outfits
00:15:50.200 And it's going to keep finding its way
00:15:52.940 Further and further down the way
00:15:54.560 And so that's what I'm saying
00:15:56.400 We have to stop
00:15:57.260 To sort of say, hey
00:15:58.740 This might be a little too much in society
00:16:01.000 You know
00:16:01.680 Be you
00:16:03.400 But maybe you don't have to shove that
00:16:06.600 In front of other people's kids
00:16:07.700 Yeah
00:16:08.820 You know, you see these kids
00:16:10.980 Giving the money at the drag queen story hour
00:16:13.720 And they always have this look
00:16:15.040 That they give their parents
00:16:16.200 Like they're seeking approval
00:16:18.140 From their parents
00:16:20.040 And, you know, you think about it
00:16:21.440 You think about how many people
00:16:23.320 Go into the family business
00:16:25.000 Maybe they're a carpenter
00:16:26.400 Maybe they're a musician like your kids
00:16:28.360 And, you know, a lot of that is
00:16:31.480 Because they learn to love the business
00:16:33.520 But they're also seeking the approval
00:16:35.880 Of their parents
00:16:37.740 Right
00:16:38.480 And I see a lot of that
00:16:40.360 With these little people
00:16:41.600 Going to drag queen story hours
00:16:43.360 The same as when my kid scores a try playing rugby
00:16:46.320 She turns around to make sure I'm watching
00:16:48.060 Right
00:16:48.860 But we're not doing that with kids anymore
00:16:50.840 We're taking them to drag queen story hour
00:16:52.620 And saying, here, stick this in this
00:16:54.840 Man's G string
00:16:56.740 For approval
00:16:57.960 Yeah
00:16:59.020 And it's uncomfortable to even say that
00:17:01.620 Like, as you're saying it to me
00:17:03.020 I'm like
00:17:03.500 Why is that even a sentence in these times?
00:17:07.400 But yeah, you're right
00:17:08.500 There's always that look of like
00:17:09.960 Is this what I'm supposed to do?
00:17:12.540 And the parents giving the okay
00:17:14.720 Yeah
00:17:15.160 When you see people doing this
00:17:17.060 You give them money
00:17:17.940 And look
00:17:19.120 That, you know
00:17:19.700 What is the message there?
00:17:21.140 This could be you
00:17:22.040 You could do this
00:17:22.880 This is your future
00:17:23.780 I don't know what that is
00:17:25.500 Is the message
00:17:26.620 You know, it's sort of
00:17:27.800 They guise it
00:17:29.120 They disguise it under tolerance
00:17:32.100 And acceptance and stuff
00:17:33.440 And that's one thing
00:17:35.140 That's okay
00:17:36.020 That's who you are
00:17:36.920 Okay, great
00:17:37.560 But they bring it out
00:17:39.500 And present it
00:17:41.360 In a ritualistic way
00:17:44.620 Yeah
00:17:44.980 That
00:17:45.620 And it's indoctrinating
00:17:47.920 You know
00:17:48.360 It's not tolerance at that point
00:17:50.920 It's indoctrinating
00:17:52.180 And it is grooming
00:17:53.320 And it is those words
00:17:54.460 That we're using right now
00:17:55.680 And it's sad
00:17:58.180 That that's how we're choosing
00:17:59.420 To influence our kids
00:18:01.280 It's weird
00:18:03.500 We've gotten to a place where
00:18:04.880 You know
00:18:06.100 Kids used to watch Sesame Street
00:18:07.460 When they were that age
00:18:08.440 And now they're in a bar
00:18:10.080 With grown-ups
00:18:11.980 Watching cross-dressers
00:18:13.980 It just boggles the mind
00:18:15.700 But I think as a parent
00:18:17.720 A lot of this is because
00:18:19.000 Maybe people from the left
00:18:20.900 Have kids for different reasons
00:18:23.120 Than I had kids
00:18:24.200 I have kids to perpetuate
00:18:25.900 My value system
00:18:26.820 Because I think
00:18:27.460 My value system
00:18:28.520 Is probably the most
00:18:29.420 Productive value system
00:18:30.860 Where I think people are happier
00:18:32.520 But I also want to
00:18:35.800 Perpetrate the species
00:18:37.020 I want to raise
00:18:38.040 Contributing
00:18:39.120 Happy
00:18:40.000 Healthy
00:18:41.200 Emotionally stable
00:18:43.260 Members of society
00:18:44.460 And I see some people
00:18:46.080 On the left
00:18:46.720 Seeing their kids
00:18:48.240 As an accessory
00:18:50.140 To their own
00:18:51.020 Social justice causes
00:18:52.460 If people on the left
00:18:54.280 Haven't self-sterilized
00:18:55.960 For climate change reasons
00:18:58.780 You see them
00:19:00.140 Raising their kids
00:19:01.400 As genderless
00:19:02.460 I'm going to
00:19:02.980 Dress them genderless
00:19:04.480 They're going to have
00:19:05.640 No gender
00:19:06.280 They're going to have
00:19:06.780 A genderless name
00:19:07.600 And I say this
00:19:08.220 With a kid named Riley
00:19:09.540 Who's a girl
00:19:10.520 That's because I was lazy
00:19:12.340 I just didn't want to
00:19:13.100 Pick two names
00:19:14.100 I didn't have
00:19:14.740 A political agenda there
00:19:15.920 But you know
00:19:16.700 Like you see people
00:19:17.660 Who are raising
00:19:18.940 Their kids
00:19:19.620 As just an arm
00:19:21.180 Of their social justice
00:19:22.600 Causes
00:19:23.140 Instead of
00:19:24.000 This thing
00:19:24.820 That you do
00:19:25.660 As a greater good
00:19:27.780 For the culture
00:19:28.500 But also
00:19:29.280 For your family
00:19:30.220 Right
00:19:31.540 Yeah
00:19:32.400 Like to me
00:19:33.660 The goal of
00:19:34.460 Raising children
00:19:35.540 Is that you're
00:19:36.260 Supposed to be
00:19:36.820 Raising the next
00:19:37.980 Crop of society
00:19:40.160 And it's supposed
00:19:41.060 To be better
00:19:42.340 More well-rounded
00:19:43.560 You know
00:19:45.620 More in tune
00:19:46.980 With
00:19:47.640 Goodness
00:19:49.340 And if you compare
00:19:51.740 The two sides
00:19:53.460 How you know
00:19:54.240 One side's raising
00:19:55.440 Their kids
00:19:55.780 One side's raising
00:19:56.480 The other kids
00:19:56.940 Like if you look at
00:19:58.400 Look at TikTok
00:19:59.800 For crying out loud
00:20:00.980 Like those kids
00:20:01.860 Aren't happy
00:20:02.540 They're confused
00:20:03.620 They don't know
00:20:05.040 Who they are
00:20:05.640 Sorry to interrupt you
00:20:06.920 I look at those kids
00:20:07.780 On TikTok
00:20:08.300 And I say
00:20:08.920 Those are future suicides
00:20:10.440 Like it deeply
00:20:11.620 Troubles me
00:20:12.320 I can't even
00:20:12.860 Go on TikTok
00:20:13.780 I
00:20:14.780 Now that you're
00:20:15.920 Talking again
00:20:16.440 I hate to interrupt you
00:20:17.600 I see as
00:20:19.020 One side of this equation
00:20:20.520 Raises children
00:20:21.740 As their role
00:20:23.300 In creating the future
00:20:25.760 It's a selfless act
00:20:27.840 And the other side
00:20:29.240 Sees children
00:20:30.220 As a way to
00:20:31.360 Indulge their own
00:20:32.420 Selfish vices
00:20:33.320 Yeah
00:20:34.560 Yeah
00:20:35.320 And it seems like
00:20:36.160 And that mindset
00:20:37.260 Is about right now
00:20:39.140 Because those parents
00:20:40.720 You know
00:20:42.000 That's an act
00:20:43.060 For their
00:20:43.860 To justify
00:20:45.220 Their own existence
00:20:46.200 Right
00:20:46.760 If I raise
00:20:47.620 Right
00:20:48.600 If I raise this person
00:20:50.160 And
00:20:50.720 And
00:20:51.780 Infiltrate my
00:20:53.220 Every
00:20:53.480 Of course
00:20:53.960 Every parent
00:20:54.580 Has their
00:20:55.080 Their own sort of
00:20:56.120 Agenda for their kids
00:20:57.520 But
00:20:58.540 You know
00:21:00.160 There's an agenda
00:21:01.080 Where
00:21:01.420 Like you said
00:21:02.220 You're trying to raise
00:21:03.280 A better
00:21:04.040 A better quality
00:21:05.380 Person
00:21:06.000 Than you
00:21:06.940 Even are
00:21:07.560 Yeah
00:21:07.920 And
00:21:08.600 Then there's
00:21:09.500 The other parent
00:21:10.640 That's trying to raise
00:21:11.720 A human
00:21:12.760 To justify
00:21:13.900 Everything that
00:21:14.880 That parent
00:21:15.400 Has ever done
00:21:16.020 In their life
00:21:16.480 Or who they are
00:21:17.180 They need the acceptance
00:21:18.120 That's why you see
00:21:18.900 So many of them
00:21:19.680 Going after kids
00:21:21.200 Because a kid
00:21:21.880 Is a sponge
00:21:22.600 And they'll just
00:21:23.320 Listen to you
00:21:24.080 And they'll say
00:21:24.860 That's great
00:21:25.600 I'm
00:21:26.260 You know
00:21:26.680 You be
00:21:27.220 Who you are
00:21:27.960 Those people
00:21:28.520 Are so
00:21:29.120 They're missing
00:21:31.440 Something on the inside
00:21:32.680 That they have to
00:21:33.480 Seek validation
00:21:34.460 From a child
00:21:35.900 When
00:21:36.560 You know
00:21:37.600 We're supposed to be
00:21:38.560 You know
00:21:40.280 It's supposed to be
00:21:41.120 Sort of
00:21:41.500 The reverse of that
00:21:42.600 We're supposed to be
00:21:43.400 You know
00:21:43.980 Validating the world
00:21:45.540 For the child
00:21:46.680 In a way
00:21:47.220 Of saying like
00:21:47.820 Look here's a great
00:21:48.720 Big world for you
00:21:50.080 That sets you up
00:21:51.740 So you can do
00:21:53.420 Great things
00:21:54.360 In this world
00:21:55.120 And
00:21:55.580 And create
00:21:56.180 Another group
00:21:56.880 Of human beings
00:21:57.500 That are even
00:21:58.020 Better than this
00:21:58.900 Group of human beings
00:21:59.720 And it's supposed
00:22:00.440 To stair step
00:22:01.240 Its way up
00:22:02.060 And we're watching
00:22:03.000 The free fall
00:22:03.860 Of society
00:22:04.520 Go down
00:22:05.200 So it's a crazy
00:22:06.740 Battle
00:22:07.240 Now you touched on
00:22:09.860 And this is something
00:22:10.740 That I think
00:22:11.160 The Daily Wire
00:22:11.800 Seems to be doing
00:22:12.580 Quite well
00:22:13.140 They are creating
00:22:14.380 This alternative
00:22:15.600 Ecosystem
00:22:16.580 Of pop culture
00:22:17.940 For people
00:22:20.280 Like me
00:22:21.000 Who say
00:22:21.400 I don't want
00:22:21.940 Any part of
00:22:22.660 Whatever you people
00:22:23.820 Are doing
00:22:24.260 No thanks
00:22:24.960 But they
00:22:25.960 You know
00:22:26.260 They're creating
00:22:27.140 Programming
00:22:27.740 For kids
00:22:28.300 And movies
00:22:28.940 And you're
00:22:30.060 Doing the music
00:22:30.680 Side
00:22:31.180 Is that the way
00:22:34.640 Or is just
00:22:35.380 Checking out
00:22:35.900 Like I did
00:22:36.380 The way
00:22:36.800 I mean
00:22:40.380 I have to say
00:22:41.120 It's the way
00:22:41.500 Well we're so
00:22:42.260 Influenced
00:22:42.800 By our
00:22:43.360 By the
00:22:44.260 The media
00:22:44.860 That we absorb
00:22:45.720 I mean
00:22:46.220 Music
00:22:46.880 Is a universal
00:22:48.600 Language
00:22:49.120 I can't tell you
00:22:50.200 The response
00:22:51.620 I've gotten
00:22:52.040 From all around
00:22:52.880 The world
00:22:53.240 On the music
00:22:53.760 That I've released
00:22:54.500 You know
00:22:55.280 Over the last
00:22:57.440 Year and a half
00:22:58.000 But like
00:22:58.520 It's been incredible
00:22:59.840 And it reaches
00:23:00.600 People to the
00:23:01.540 You know
00:23:02.000 Whole other side
00:23:02.860 And that's the
00:23:05.300 Same for
00:23:05.920 Movies
00:23:07.720 And comedy
00:23:08.560 And I don't
00:23:10.100 Think it's so much
00:23:10.840 That we're trying
00:23:11.540 To replace
00:23:13.460 Anything
00:23:14.140 It's just that
00:23:15.560 The old way
00:23:16.260 Of doing things
00:23:17.000 Has just been
00:23:18.100 Beaten down
00:23:19.000 And they won't
00:23:19.920 Stop doing
00:23:21.060 What they're doing
00:23:21.920 And you know
00:23:24.040 To the
00:23:25.280 Comedians that
00:23:26.020 Are that are
00:23:26.680 On this side
00:23:27.280 Of the aisle
00:23:27.700 They're doing
00:23:28.540 What the great
00:23:29.260 Comedians always
00:23:30.240 Did as a
00:23:31.440 Musician I'm
00:23:32.260 Doing what
00:23:32.820 I'm trying to
00:23:33.600 Do what the
00:23:34.120 Great musicians
00:23:34.820 Always did
00:23:35.840 You know the
00:23:36.340 Great songwriters
00:23:37.340 Was they spoke
00:23:38.180 Up when it
00:23:38.660 Was time to
00:23:39.200 Speak up
00:23:39.800 Whether you
00:23:41.000 Agreed with it
00:23:41.680 Or not
00:23:42.100 But nobody
00:23:42.920 You know
00:23:43.600 Very few
00:23:44.680 Really spoke
00:23:45.560 Up and the
00:23:46.620 Same with
00:23:47.020 Movies too
00:23:47.720 You're going
00:23:48.080 To see more
00:23:48.900 And more
00:23:49.220 Movies being
00:23:50.220 Made that
00:23:51.420 Aren't really
00:23:52.240 Battling against
00:23:54.420 Woke culture
00:23:55.840 Or anything
00:23:56.500 Like that
00:23:57.260 They're just
00:23:58.280 Making what
00:24:00.140 We want
00:24:01.380 What people
00:24:02.580 Want to see
00:24:03.580 That's the
00:24:04.440 Difference is
00:24:05.200 Pop culture
00:24:06.460 Isn't making
00:24:07.200 Things that
00:24:07.780 People want
00:24:08.720 They're just
00:24:09.820 Making things
00:24:10.900 To serve an
00:24:11.560 Agenda and
00:24:12.260 That's why
00:24:12.740 It's crumbling
00:24:13.360 And then if
00:24:14.480 It doesn't work
00:24:15.100 Out then they
00:24:15.620 Blame everybody
00:24:16.520 You know
00:24:17.000 It's the
00:24:18.320 Culture's fault
00:24:19.700 For not
00:24:20.640 Wanting it
00:24:21.340 Oh well
00:24:21.740 That movie
00:24:22.160 Had a bad
00:24:22.680 Opening
00:24:23.040 Well it's
00:24:23.620 It's because
00:24:24.460 Of racism
00:24:25.120 You know
00:24:25.860 Or whatever
00:24:26.380 It is
00:24:26.780 Right
00:24:27.000 So it's
00:24:29.780 It's weird
00:24:30.140 That they
00:24:30.420 Won't wake
00:24:30.860 Up to that
00:24:31.380 But to
00:24:31.940 Me it's
00:24:32.580 Like well
00:24:33.020 I'm just
00:24:33.340 Doing with
00:24:33.780 All my
00:24:34.260 Former heroes
00:24:35.760 You know
00:24:36.680 What I
00:24:36.980 Thought they
00:24:37.300 Were all
00:24:37.640 Sort of
00:24:38.080 Supposed to
00:24:38.560 Be about
00:24:39.080 And it's
00:24:41.140 Not that
00:24:41.460 I'm really
00:24:41.820 Fighting against
00:24:42.900 Or purposely
00:24:43.980 Going like
00:24:44.560 I'm gonna
00:24:44.980 Fight against
00:24:46.020 That culture
00:24:46.800 It's like
00:24:47.300 This is
00:24:47.780 This is
00:24:48.540 Right to
00:24:49.000 Me
00:24:49.200 This is
00:24:49.600 What's
00:24:49.940 Worth
00:24:50.140 Fighting for
00:24:50.760 So I'm
00:24:51.180 Gonna put
00:24:51.520 It into
00:24:52.440 My music
00:24:53.060 You know
00:24:54.200 I think
00:24:54.500 Even just
00:24:54.900 From a
00:24:55.680 Purely
00:24:56.700 Capitalistic
00:24:57.640 Viewpoint
00:24:58.920 Wouldn't you
00:25:00.560 Want to make
00:25:01.220 Content that
00:25:02.940 Somebody will
00:25:04.000 Consume
00:25:04.600 You know
00:25:05.920 Like in
00:25:06.600 Canada here
00:25:07.160 We have our
00:25:07.680 Mainstream media
00:25:08.620 Is subsidized
00:25:09.540 By the government
00:25:10.240 And nobody
00:25:11.340 Watches it
00:25:11.960 But there's
00:25:12.320 Never that
00:25:12.680 Market correction
00:25:13.720 That is
00:25:16.220 Required for
00:25:16.900 Them to
00:25:17.220 Fix whatever
00:25:17.740 The heck
00:25:18.080 They're doing
00:25:18.480 Over there
00:25:18.980 Because they
00:25:19.740 Always have
00:25:20.240 This constant
00:25:21.160 Shuffle of
00:25:22.560 Money towards
00:25:23.160 Them and I
00:25:23.480 Sort of see
00:25:23.900 That in
00:25:25.540 The censorship
00:25:26.540 Homogeneity
00:25:27.680 Enforcement that
00:25:28.560 You see in
00:25:29.340 The pop culture
00:25:30.140 In the United
00:25:30.800 States in
00:25:32.000 That you
00:25:34.000 Know if
00:25:34.320 Somebody doesn't
00:25:35.020 Like your
00:25:35.440 Stuff it's
00:25:37.680 Not a flaw
00:25:38.140 With your
00:25:38.480 Stuff it's
00:25:39.020 The flaw
00:25:39.280 With the
00:25:39.600 Person we'll
00:25:40.220 Point over
00:25:40.700 There and
00:25:41.860 Everybody
00:25:42.180 I'll just
00:25:42.540 Call everybody
00:25:43.060 Who didn't
00:25:43.420 Watch it
00:25:43.840 A racist
00:25:44.300 It's just
00:25:46.640 It's so
00:25:47.340 Interesting to
00:25:48.060 See again
00:25:48.940 As a purely
00:25:49.600 Capitalistic
00:25:50.380 Viewpoint you
00:25:51.820 Don't have to
00:25:52.400 Make content
00:25:53.160 For everybody
00:25:54.020 But you
00:25:54.800 Might want to
00:25:55.340 Try to make
00:25:55.820 It for
00:25:56.080 Somebody and
00:25:57.660 Not alienate
00:25:58.780 Half the
00:25:59.740 People who
00:26:00.240 Are interested
00:26:00.880 In spending
00:26:01.420 Some money
00:26:01.800 At the
00:26:02.040 Movies
00:26:02.420 Today
00:26:02.720 Yeah you
00:26:04.300 Would think
00:26:04.740 That they
00:26:05.060 Would perk
00:26:05.480 Their head
00:26:05.860 Up and
00:26:06.160 Go you
00:26:07.180 Know the
00:26:07.500 Last 10
00:26:08.140 Movies
00:26:08.640 Really didn't
00:26:09.180 Do that
00:26:09.660 Well at
00:26:10.100 The box
00:26:10.600 Office maybe
00:26:11.260 We should
00:26:11.640 Change our
00:26:12.440 Approach
00:26:13.000 To what
00:26:13.820 We're
00:26:14.020 Making
00:26:14.320 You know
00:26:15.580 You're
00:26:15.800 Seeing that
00:26:16.140 A lot
00:26:16.360 With Disney
00:26:16.980 Right now
00:26:17.500 Like every
00:26:18.060 Move they
00:26:18.580 Do is a
00:26:19.120 Double down
00:26:19.780 On what
00:26:20.340 You know
00:26:20.700 Their what
00:26:21.220 Their agenda
00:26:21.820 Is and
00:26:22.620 More and
00:26:23.560 More people
00:26:24.020 Are dropping
00:26:24.620 Off I mean
00:26:25.420 Speak of
00:26:26.200 You speak
00:26:27.020 Pop culture
00:26:27.840 And that's
00:26:28.860 Like at
00:26:29.740 The forefront
00:26:30.360 Disney you
00:26:31.300 Know they've
00:26:31.740 Got their
00:26:32.080 Own whole
00:26:32.620 Disney
00:26:33.080 Culture and
00:26:34.220 I honestly
00:26:34.920 Like I grew
00:26:35.520 Up loving
00:26:36.020 Disney I
00:26:36.560 Went to
00:26:36.860 Those parks
00:26:37.520 With my
00:26:37.900 Family I
00:26:38.460 Took my
00:26:38.880 Kids and
00:26:40.280 And I
00:26:40.820 Was very
00:26:41.280 Influenced
00:26:41.860 By a lot
00:26:42.440 Of those
00:26:42.760 Movies
00:26:43.260 And at
00:26:44.840 This point
00:26:45.260 I couldn't
00:26:45.740 Care less
00:26:46.520 What happens
00:26:47.200 To that
00:26:47.580 Company
00:26:47.960 Because they
00:26:49.240 Keep pushing
00:26:50.180 Me in a
00:26:51.220 Direction that
00:26:52.140 Is like I
00:26:53.120 Don't you know
00:26:53.780 I don't want
00:26:54.420 What you're
00:26:54.780 Making anymore
00:26:55.520 And you
00:26:55.980 Keep making
00:26:56.560 It so
00:26:57.080 That's that
00:26:58.720 You know and
00:26:59.240 I think a lot
00:26:59.760 Of families
00:27:00.340 Are waking
00:27:00.740 Up to that
00:27:01.300 A lot of
00:27:01.720 Them are
00:27:01.960 Leaving behind
00:27:02.640 You know such
00:27:03.320 A cherished
00:27:04.120 Family brand
00:27:05.000 But you're
00:27:05.440 Seeing that
00:27:06.100 Not just
00:27:07.080 With Disney
00:27:07.840 But a lot
00:27:08.540 Of family
00:27:09.220 Brands
00:27:09.900 Sesame Street
00:27:10.800 And PBS
00:27:11.460 And everything
00:27:12.780 It's interesting
00:27:14.660 Because you
00:27:15.980 Know you see
00:27:16.440 The success
00:27:16.880 Of like
00:27:17.420 Top Gun
00:27:18.480 And they
00:27:20.340 Can't figure
00:27:20.820 It out and
00:27:21.180 I'm like because
00:27:21.660 It's normal
00:27:22.340 It's a normal
00:27:23.680 Movie like
00:27:24.320 How movies
00:27:24.820 Used to be
00:27:25.360 Without all
00:27:25.880 Your nonsense
00:27:27.040 Sort of
00:27:27.620 Percolating in
00:27:28.220 The background
00:27:28.540 It was just
00:27:28.900 A movie
00:27:29.480 Where people
00:27:31.040 Who are
00:27:32.940 Want to go
00:27:33.980 To decompress
00:27:35.040 From the
00:27:35.580 Pressures of
00:27:36.100 The world
00:27:36.540 Where you
00:27:37.160 Haven't shoehorned
00:27:38.280 All the
00:27:38.520 Pressures of
00:27:39.020 The world
00:27:39.400 Into the
00:27:39.820 Movie
00:27:40.100 So there's
00:27:40.760 No escape
00:27:41.320 For people
00:27:41.860 Anymore
00:27:42.320 Hollywood
00:27:43.320 Just cannot
00:27:44.320 Figure it out
00:27:45.180 Now I want
00:27:45.720 To ask you
00:27:46.520 Because another
00:27:47.200 Outspoken
00:27:47.840 Musician
00:27:48.380 And it
00:27:48.920 Doesn't matter
00:27:49.260 Where you
00:27:49.580 Fall down
00:27:50.000 On his
00:27:50.280 Politics
00:27:50.680 But Kanye
00:27:51.860 Is part of
00:27:53.020 This ecosystem
00:27:53.900 Building project
00:27:55.020 I see
00:27:55.520 Coming out
00:27:56.580 Of you know
00:27:57.020 The I don't
00:27:57.780 Don't even
00:27:58.240 Want to say
00:27:58.600 Conservative
00:27:58.960 But maybe
00:27:59.380 Just the
00:27:59.800 Free speech
00:28:00.500 Free thought
00:28:01.260 Side of
00:28:02.300 The aisle
00:28:02.780 With his
00:28:04.660 Proposal
00:28:06.000 To buy
00:28:07.120 Parler
00:28:07.700 What do you
00:28:08.040 Think about
00:28:08.380 That
00:28:08.660 You know
00:28:10.720 I've never
00:28:12.780 Been a super
00:28:13.380 Kanye West
00:28:14.260 Fan
00:28:14.600 I appreciate
00:28:15.560 You know
00:28:16.260 I appreciate
00:28:17.740 Him pushing
00:28:19.980 Buttons
00:28:20.740 Is what I
00:28:21.460 Appreciate
00:28:21.920 Right now
00:28:22.560 And
00:28:23.020 If he wants
00:28:25.160 To buy
00:28:25.460 Parler
00:28:25.940 All right
00:28:26.700 You know
00:28:27.440 That's fine
00:28:28.500 I'd be interested
00:28:29.120 To see what
00:28:29.660 He does
00:28:29.940 With it
00:28:30.120 I think
00:28:30.480 You need
00:28:31.480 Guys like
00:28:31.980 That
00:28:32.320 Everybody's
00:28:33.680 Just so
00:28:34.080 So worn
00:28:36.360 Out
00:28:36.640 With
00:28:36.880 What
00:28:37.880 Already
00:28:38.540 Is
00:28:39.000 That if
00:28:39.400 Kanye West
00:28:40.080 Buys Parler
00:28:40.700 And Elon
00:28:41.200 Musk
00:28:41.460 Buys Twitter
00:28:42.060 And you're
00:28:42.820 Stirring the
00:28:43.300 Pot up
00:28:43.760 And making
00:28:44.440 It different
00:28:45.060 I think
00:28:47.200 That that's
00:28:47.620 Good
00:28:47.900 I think
00:28:48.280 That people
00:28:48.660 Are just
00:28:49.020 Pining
00:28:49.400 For
00:28:49.740 You know
00:28:50.320 An
00:28:52.580 A place
00:28:53.620 To speak
00:28:54.180 Up where
00:28:54.500 You don't
00:28:54.760 Feel like
00:28:55.140 You have
00:28:55.500 To watch
00:28:56.220 What you
00:28:56.560 Say anymore
00:28:57.280 But
00:28:57.600 And there's
00:28:58.240 There's
00:28:58.460 A lot
00:28:58.780 Of them
00:28:59.000 Out there
00:28:59.320 There's
00:28:59.420 A good
00:28:59.800 Chunk of
00:29:00.500 Social media
00:29:01.060 Platforms
00:29:01.760 Where you
00:29:01.980 Can say
00:29:02.360 What you
00:29:02.640 Want to
00:29:02.920 Say
00:29:03.180 But
00:29:03.920 They're
00:29:04.760 Kind of
00:29:05.080 Their own
00:29:05.560 Echo
00:29:06.620 Chambers
00:29:07.160 Right now
00:29:07.800 And it's
00:29:08.540 Great that
00:29:08.940 They're there
00:29:09.460 But you
00:29:10.380 Do still
00:29:10.880 Need to
00:29:11.200 Have that
00:29:11.940 Public
00:29:13.020 Discourse
00:29:13.640 Where you
00:29:14.140 Can have
00:29:14.780 Somebody
00:29:15.220 Disagree
00:29:15.820 With you
00:29:16.300 And you
00:29:17.780 Know that
00:29:18.320 You can
00:29:18.920 Have the
00:29:19.260 Disagreement
00:29:19.780 And that's
00:29:20.260 Just that
00:29:20.780 You're not
00:29:21.200 Going to
00:29:21.420 Get banned
00:29:21.980 You're not
00:29:22.300 Going to
00:29:22.500 Get censored
00:29:23.300 So
00:29:25.160 You know
00:29:26.540 Of course
00:29:27.520 Like Kanye
00:29:28.120 He speaks
00:29:29.520 Up
00:29:29.780 Speaks his
00:29:30.320 Mind
00:29:30.540 And instantly
00:29:31.220 We got to
00:29:31.980 Cancel Kanye
00:29:32.900 You know
00:29:33.440 Good luck
00:29:34.040 Yeah
00:29:35.500 And so
00:29:36.720 We do need
00:29:37.880 You know
00:29:38.240 I'm glad to
00:29:39.140 Have anybody
00:29:39.720 That has
00:29:40.300 That large
00:29:41.100 Of a
00:29:41.360 Platform
00:29:41.740 To really
00:29:42.680 You know
00:29:43.500 Ruffle some
00:29:44.220 Feathers
00:29:44.580 Right now
00:29:45.200 I just
00:29:47.080 You know
00:29:47.460 I'm not
00:29:47.860 Going to
00:29:48.060 Agree
00:29:48.220 With everything
00:29:48.800 He says
00:29:49.340 But I
00:29:49.740 You know
00:29:50.540 That's the
00:29:50.900 Whole point
00:29:51.540 Right
00:29:52.160 Like we
00:29:52.460 Don't
00:29:52.640 They don't
00:29:53.280 Have to
00:29:53.680 Be
00:29:53.920 It doesn't
00:29:54.300 Have to
00:29:54.520 Be
00:29:54.720 Oh he's
00:29:55.240 All over
00:29:56.080 On this
00:29:56.520 Side
00:29:56.920 Or he's
00:29:57.580 All over
00:29:58.060 On this
00:29:58.400 Side
00:29:58.680 And if
00:29:59.020 You're
00:29:59.200 Somewhere
00:29:59.560 In between
00:30:00.140 Then I
00:30:01.100 Just can't
00:30:01.720 Or if
00:30:02.020 You're
00:30:02.140 Somewhere
00:30:02.380 Over there
00:30:02.740 Then I
00:30:03.040 Just can't
00:30:03.500 Follow him
00:30:03.820 I just
00:30:05.420 Want to
00:30:05.660 Get back
00:30:05.960 To that
00:30:06.440 Where it's
00:30:06.900 Like oh
00:30:07.420 Yeah
00:30:07.620 You know
00:30:08.240 I don't
00:30:08.660 Agree
00:30:08.840 With everything
00:30:09.300 They say
00:30:09.740 But you
00:30:10.840 Know
00:30:11.020 I respect
00:30:12.420 Their right
00:30:13.440 To say it
00:30:14.100 And we
00:30:15.020 Can all
00:30:15.360 Just live
00:30:15.900 Life like
00:30:16.420 We used
00:30:16.760 To live
00:30:17.080 Life
00:30:17.440 And get
00:30:18.180 Back to
00:30:18.660 That kind
00:30:19.420 Of normality
00:30:20.140 I also
00:30:21.380 Think
00:30:21.800 We should
00:30:23.120 Be graceful
00:30:23.980 As we watch
00:30:24.840 People evolve
00:30:25.760 From their
00:30:27.420 Other side
00:30:28.180 You know
00:30:28.500 I go around
00:30:29.620 Prostatizing the
00:30:30.620 Good word of
00:30:31.200 Free thought
00:30:31.680 And free
00:30:32.080 Expression
00:30:32.560 And so when
00:30:33.860 We get
00:30:34.140 Somebody from
00:30:34.600 The other
00:30:34.900 Side who
00:30:35.480 Starts to
00:30:36.020 Rethink
00:30:36.460 Their viewpoint
00:30:37.100 I don't
00:30:38.020 Think we
00:30:38.320 Should have
00:30:38.680 A litmus
00:30:39.260 Test or
00:30:39.700 A purity
00:30:40.160 Test for
00:30:40.760 Them let
00:30:41.580 Them evolve
00:30:42.120 Let them
00:30:42.640 Come around
00:30:43.040 To our
00:30:43.320 Way of
00:30:43.640 Thinking let
00:30:44.380 Them get
00:30:44.940 Here we
00:30:45.340 Don't have
00:30:45.680 To go
00:30:45.980 Back and
00:30:46.520 Say well
00:30:47.040 You said
00:30:47.440 That back
00:30:48.040 Then and
00:30:48.420 You did
00:30:48.720 That back
00:30:49.160 Then yeah
00:30:50.360 Let them
00:30:50.840 Have their
00:30:51.240 Saul to
00:30:51.800 Paul moment
00:30:52.560 On the road
00:30:53.540 To Damascus
00:30:54.420 We don't
00:30:54.820 Have to you
00:30:55.680 Know hold
00:30:56.560 Them to the
00:30:57.660 Woke standards
00:30:58.780 But our
00:30:59.540 Own version
00:31:00.300 Of going
00:31:01.240 Back and
00:31:01.840 And post
00:31:02.880 Canceling
00:31:03.480 People as
00:31:04.360 They change
00:31:05.200 Their minds
00:31:05.700 And their
00:31:06.000 Views that
00:31:07.400 We keep
00:31:07.800 Telling them
00:31:08.280 To change
00:31:08.700 Their minds
00:31:09.100 And their
00:31:09.360 Views on
00:31:09.820 Sure yeah
00:31:11.500 You've got
00:31:11.980 That's the
00:31:13.040 Thing that I
00:31:13.440 Like about it
00:31:14.060 If you
00:31:14.340 Ruffle feathers
00:31:14.960 All you're
00:31:15.440 Really doing
00:31:16.040 Regardless of
00:31:16.960 What side
00:31:17.460 You're on
00:31:17.800 Is getting
00:31:18.620 Other people
00:31:19.220 To think
00:31:19.720 I think
00:31:20.080 People are
00:31:20.560 So stale
00:31:21.300 In their
00:31:21.760 Brain right
00:31:22.460 Now with
00:31:23.440 One way
00:31:24.160 Of thinking
00:31:24.640 That you
00:31:26.560 Know if you
00:31:26.860 Can get
00:31:27.120 People to
00:31:27.760 Go oh
00:31:28.520 Kanye said
00:31:29.300 That or
00:31:29.740 Whatever you
00:31:30.480 Know whoever
00:31:30.940 It is then
00:31:33.120 You're cracking
00:31:33.820 That egg open
00:31:35.060 A little bit
00:31:35.600 And getting
00:31:36.020 Them to
00:31:36.520 Think once
00:31:37.480 Again and
00:31:38.180 That's the
00:31:38.600 Road we need
00:31:39.100 To be on
00:31:39.680 Is you know
00:31:41.260 Expanding our
00:31:42.860 Thoughts again
00:31:43.640 And being
00:31:44.700 Willing to
00:31:45.480 Engage with
00:31:46.480 A conversation
00:31:48.820 That might not
00:31:49.560 Be exactly
00:31:50.300 What you think
00:31:51.140 Because everybody
00:31:52.100 Is so locked
00:31:52.800 Into their
00:31:53.400 Beliefs now
00:31:54.380 Yeah as a
00:31:56.000 Canadian too I
00:31:56.600 Always look on
00:31:57.240 With great
00:31:57.640 Fascination when
00:31:59.000 I see political
00:32:01.240 Millionaires because
00:32:02.140 We really don't
00:32:02.660 Have that in
00:32:03.260 Canada I bet
00:32:03.840 You can't even
00:32:04.340 Name one
00:32:04.920 Or even
00:32:07.000 Like political
00:32:07.820 Musicians in
00:32:09.020 Canada who
00:32:09.820 Are sort of
00:32:10.320 Speaking out
00:32:10.840 And ruffling
00:32:11.300 Feathers because
00:32:12.060 We have a
00:32:13.440 Very small
00:32:14.620 Group of
00:32:15.120 Elites at
00:32:15.640 The top and
00:32:16.240 Everybody wants
00:32:16.800 To be invited
00:32:17.240 To those
00:32:17.600 Fancy parties
00:32:18.300 And the
00:32:19.120 Only time you
00:32:19.540 Ever hear of
00:32:20.060 Our millionaires
00:32:20.980 Speaking out
00:32:21.680 On issues of
00:32:22.420 Politics is when
00:32:23.520 They go to
00:32:23.880 The United
00:32:24.280 States and
00:32:24.820 Get jobs on
00:32:25.380 Shark Tank
00:32:25.960 Like Kevin
00:32:27.640 O'Leary but
00:32:28.740 They don't
00:32:29.060 Stay here and
00:32:29.940 Do the things
00:32:30.560 Like Elon Musk
00:32:31.420 Is doing or
00:32:32.360 Peter Thiel or
00:32:33.660 Kanye so as
00:32:35.500 A Canadian I'm
00:32:36.080 Always like we
00:32:36.620 Need some of
00:32:37.180 Those guys but
00:32:38.020 We just have
00:32:38.820 Sort of a
00:32:39.340 Small pool at
00:32:40.360 The top I
00:32:42.160 Promise you only
00:32:42.800 20 minutes I've
00:32:43.480 Taken up more
00:32:44.020 Of your time
00:32:44.580 Than that
00:32:45.060 Brad tell us
00:32:47.880 About your
00:32:48.600 New music
00:32:50.180 Coming out
00:32:50.960 And why
00:32:53.200 Why this
00:32:54.060 Why this
00:32:54.740 Album title
00:32:55.860 So I have
00:32:58.280 An album
00:32:58.620 Coming out
00:32:59.240 First week in
00:33:00.560 November called
00:33:01.440 Silent War
00:33:02.160 There's a song
00:33:03.560 Called Silent
00:33:04.140 War on the
00:33:04.880 Album and
00:33:05.380 This album
00:33:06.060 Actually pulls
00:33:06.660 Together all of
00:33:07.400 The singles that
00:33:08.320 I put out over
00:33:09.160 The last year
00:33:09.740 And a half
00:33:10.260 Collects them
00:33:11.240 Into one spot
00:33:12.080 With a couple
00:33:13.980 More new songs
00:33:14.900 And it's
00:33:16.380 It's just
00:33:16.920 Sort of a way
00:33:17.480 To document
00:33:18.140 Everything that
00:33:18.880 I've put out
00:33:19.400 I've sort of
00:33:19.820 Been writing
00:33:21.260 An album in
00:33:21.900 Real time over
00:33:22.680 The last year
00:33:23.420 And a half
00:33:23.900 Without realizing
00:33:24.740 It and then
00:33:25.440 People started
00:33:26.620 Asking you know
00:33:27.360 Where's the
00:33:27.780 Album so
00:33:28.540 I wanted to
00:33:29.520 Put them
00:33:29.820 Together and
00:33:30.660 It's it's been
00:33:31.540 An interesting
00:33:31.980 Project because
00:33:32.920 I put the
00:33:34.280 Track the track
00:33:35.060 List in the
00:33:36.020 Order on the
00:33:36.760 Album is the
00:33:37.620 Order in which
00:33:38.280 I released the
00:33:39.040 Songs and it
00:33:39.620 Sort of tells a
00:33:40.700 Story from the
00:33:41.420 Beginning of
00:33:42.640 Where I started
00:33:43.400 Out as a
00:33:43.960 Songwriter
00:33:44.460 And what
00:33:46.780 Has sort of
00:33:47.420 Happened and
00:33:48.080 Unfolded over
00:33:48.760 The last year
00:33:49.500 And a half
00:33:50.000 So you know
00:33:53.160 It just seemed
00:33:53.720 Time to put
00:33:54.300 These songs
00:33:54.740 Together into
00:33:55.320 One collection
00:33:56.080 It's called
00:33:56.860 Silent War
00:33:57.560 Because of the
00:33:58.180 Song Silent
00:33:58.780 War which is
00:33:59.480 Essentially about
00:34:00.820 What we're
00:34:01.380 Facing it's a
00:34:02.820 Psychological war
00:34:04.240 Everybody's online

00:34:07.700 The battle at
00:34:08.380 Hand right now

00:34:09.660 Kind of war
00:34:10.340 Than we've
00:34:10.880 Ever fought
00:34:11.460 And you know

00:34:18.440 Battle at hand

00:34:19.780 Of feels locked
00:34:21.620 Behind a screen

00:34:24.180 Reaching out is

00:35:16.460 Anymore they've
00:35:17.080 Sort of abandoned
00:35:17.800 Holding the
00:35:19.540 Piece you know
00:35:20.760 Holding a record
00:35:21.820 And listening to
00:35:22.640 It I kind of
00:35:23.080 Wanted to bring
00:35:23.560 That back and
00:35:24.400 Holding a CD
00:35:25.280 And reading the
00:35:26.000 Lyrics as you

00:35:27.760 To bring that
00:35:28.300 Back so get
00:35:30.080 That physical
00:35:30.580 Copy if you
00:35:31.420 If you want it
00:35:32.380 Yeah you know
00:35:33.140 I was thinking
00:35:33.500 About that the
00:35:34.000 Other day just
00:35:34.800 Pulling out the
00:35:35.860 The sheet the
00:35:37.720 Liner notes from
00:35:39.400 A CD that used
00:35:40.740 To be so gratifying
00:35:41.900 When you took the
00:35:42.580 Plastic off a CD
00:35:43.460 And then you
00:35:43.880 Rip the liner out
00:35:44.660 To make sure that
00:35:45.500 You actually had the
00:35:46.260 Words you were
00:35:46.680 Singing right
00:35:47.360 Right
00:35:48.180 Yeah and it
00:35:50.880 Was yours though
00:35:51.880 You know it was
00:35:52.740 Your copy and
00:35:54.080 You could write in
00:35:55.800 It or staple it
00:35:56.780 On the wall with
00:35:57.540 A bunch of other
00:35:58.200 Album covers and
00:35:59.680 You know that's
00:36:01.120 Something that I've
00:36:01.820 Always loved about
00:36:02.540 Music was the
00:36:03.340 Actual physical
00:36:04.040 Copy of it as
00:36:05.020 Well and so it
00:36:06.180 Creates an

00:37:43.040 For those today's
00:37:44.620 Comment actually comes
00:37:46.500 From YouTube and I'm
00:37:47.300 Not one to support
00:37:48.440 YouTube it's a
00:37:50.020 Censorship platform but
00:37:51.260 Today's comment was
00:37:52.340 Just so great that
00:37:55.240 I'll make an
00:37:56.040 Exception just this
00:37:57.180 Once and it's on my
00:37:58.020 Interview last week
00:37:59.600 With my friend and
00:38:01.980 Colleague and our
00:38:02.880 Chief documentary
00:38:03.880 Filmmaker here at
00:38:04.960 Rebel News Kian
00:38:06.100 Simone on his
00:38:07.800 Documentary called
00:38:09.440 Ungovernable it's
00:38:10.780 About Alberta's
00:38:11.940 Quest for
00:38:12.640 Independence and
00:38:13.460 How independence
00:38:14.160 Means different
00:38:15.120 Things to different
00:38:15.900 People but it's for
00:38:18.080 Albertans to chart
00:38:19.460 Our own path
00:38:20.140 Forward and largely
00:38:21.860 For us I think as
00:38:24.300 Albertans we just
00:38:26.180 Want to be left
00:38:26.800 Alone and being
00:38:27.560 Left alone means a
00:38:28.420 Lot of things to a
00:38:29.340 Lot of different
00:38:29.840 People but it is my
00:38:31.380 Personal political
00:38:32.220 Philosophy leave me
00:38:33.800 Alone that's it
00:38:35.540 Leave me alone I'll
00:38:36.520 Leave you alone and
00:38:37.740 Don't use the
00:38:38.500 Government to make
00:38:39.100 Me care about the
00:38:39.780 Things that you care
00:38:40.380 About because I
00:38:42.320 Don't like that and
00:38:43.600 A government that
00:38:45.100 Cares about what I
00:38:47.520 Care about is a
00:38:48.300 Government that is
00:38:48.960 Way too big and way
00:38:49.960 Too expensive anyway
00:38:50.800 Let's read the very
00:38:52.560 Great comment that I
00:38:53.940 Found on YouTube it's
00:38:55.640 From James C and
00:38:57.360 It's a quote he
00:38:59.660 Writes the most
00:39:00.460 Terrifying force of
00:39:01.520 Death comes from the
00:39:02.840 Hands of men who
00:39:03.600 Want to be left
00:39:04.260 Alone they try so
00:39:06.180 Very hard to mind
00:39:07.420 Their own business
00:39:08.100 And to provide for
00:39:09.100 Themselves and those
00:39:10.620 They love they
00:39:11.340 Resist every impulse
00:39:12.660 To fight back
00:39:13.400 Knowing the force
00:39:15.240 And permanent change
00:39:16.400 Of life that will
00:39:17.180 Come from it they
00:39:18.200 Know that the
00:39:19.360 Moment they fight
00:39:20.040 Back their lives as
00:39:21.040 They have lived them
00:39:22.100 Are over the moment
00:39:23.140 The men who wanted
00:39:24.620 To be left alone are
00:39:25.880 Forced to fight back
00:39:26.840 It is a form of
00:39:27.680 Suicide they are
00:39:28.400 Literally killing
00:39:29.260 Off who they
00:39:30.540 Used to be which
00:39:32.180 Is why when
00:39:33.360 Forced to take up
00:39:34.140 Violence these men
00:39:35.440 Who want to be left
00:39:36.240 Alone fight with
00:39:37.160 Unholy vengeance
00:39:38.340 Against those who
00:39:39.360 Murdered their
00:39:39.920 Former lives they
00:39:41.520 Fight with raw hate
00:39:42.520 And a drive that
00:39:43.380 Cannot be fathomed by
00:39:44.820 Those who are merely
00:39:45.660 Play acting at
00:39:46.580 Politics and terror
00:39:47.680 True terror will
00:39:49.600 Arrive at these
00:39:50.300 People's doors and
00:39:51.280 They will cry scream
00:39:52.400 And beg for mercy
00:39:53.300 But it will fall
00:39:54.520 Upon the deaf ears
00:39:55.820 Of men who just
00:39:57.080 Wanted to be left
00:39:57.760 Alone he says the
00:39:59.280 Author is unknown
00:40:00.180 There but it is
00:40:04.220 True you know
00:40:05.140 When and I'm not
00:40:06.640 Saying the people
00:40:07.260 At coots were
00:40:08.180 Involved in any
00:40:10.420 Violence in fact
00:40:11.160 They were peaceful
00:40:11.780 I think to the
00:40:13.580 Bitter bitter end
00:40:14.480 But when you are
00:40:18.400 Compelling people
00:40:19.840 Who want to be
00:40:21.080 Left alone to
00:40:22.620 Finally act
00:40:23.920 You're dealing
00:40:25.160 With someone that
00:40:25.800 You have
00:40:26.380 Unintentionally
00:40:27.860 Radicalized and
00:40:29.060 So help you God
00:40:29.840 Well everybody
